If you want to explore big ideas in a fun and intellectually exciting seminar, the Honors Seminar is now open to you, and you do not have to be an Honors student!

This semester, the seminar will use the science fiction genre to explore the question, "Is there intelligent life in the Universe?" This seminar which meets one evening per week, like graduate seminars at American universities, is taught by a team of AUI's Honors faculty from all three schools. The seminar takes a multi-disciplinary approach that gives you a rich and powerful learning experience. And the seminar provides an intellectually energizing experience that is difficult to achieve in other classes. The University Honors Program (UHP) is distinctive and unique in Morocco, and this seminar is equally distinctive and unique at AUI.

If you want to push your mind and prepare for graduate study abroad, join us in the seminar. See the SHSS undergraduate coordinator, Dr. Abderrahim Agnaou, for more information.
